Academy is not the same as higher education. The other part is people doing research and no teaching. These are people who then publishes their findings in journals for others to see.

And if we’re talking about public universities, these researchers are already crowd sourced.

In the US there is no academy, to my knowledge. It’s another word for school.

Right, I was reading it as academia, so, sure strictly speaking, there's academy which is just a school, and academia which connotes fundamental researcher, literature scholars etc who may never teach.

The comment I replied to read as if they meant academia, not academy.
